Annabel Sutherland Takes Birthday Five-For to Stall India in Women’s World Cup

The 5/40 in Visakhapatnam delivered her career-best figures, her 50th WODI wicket, plus only the third Australian five-for in Women’s World Cup history.

Overview

  • Australia won the toss and bowled as India’s openers Smriti Mandhana (80) and Pratika Rawal (75) put on a 155-run stand.
  • India reached 234/2 in 36.2 overs before collapsing to 330 all out in 48.5 overs under pressure from Sutherland’s spell.
  • Sutherland finished with 5/40 from 9.5 overs for her maiden five-wicket haul in Women’s ODIs.
  • Sophie Molineux added 3/75, helping Australia take regular wickets through the latter overs.
  • No woman had previously taken an ODI five-for on her birthday, with Rashid Khan the only other cricketer to do so in an ODI.
